CHAPTER 18

　　Stefan

If there was one thing I was clear about in my life, it was that I loved Kara. I won't lie that had a fondness for Sara, as she was fun, charismatic, and pleasant. But what I felt for Sara didn't compare to what Kara made me feel when she was around.

I wanted to choose Kara. My response had my ex-wife's name. But Kara chose my brother, so I had no option but to choose Sara. I loved her. And I would fight for her, but I didn't know how to be alone. I know this made me an idiot, but this is how I did things.

I hated Sara's question because it made me connect with my feelings for Kara. I couldn't help but have Kara's image in my mind. I remembered our kisses, our hands touching, and our dreams.

"You're choosing her," Sara realized.

"No, I choose you, Sara," I replied. I felt like I betrayed myself. It hurt my heart.

"Do you mean it, Stefan?" I noticed Sara's pained expression softening.

"Yes, Sara. I mean it. I chose you because I love you, sweetheart," I lied.
